don't let the government get between you and your doctor. the government's getting between the union and its workers. why? this is not about economic development. unions account for only about 20% of the workforce in michigan. michigan's new right-to-work law isn't going to affect economic development in a positive way whatsoever. and there is a road map to prove that. look at states around the country that are right to work. union membership has declined in this country, and that's what they want. so has middle class incomes. you see that? that graph right there starts back in 1967. and it goes all the way to 2011. and as union membership has gone down, so has middle class income. so if anything, michigan's new right-to-work law will hurt economic development. governor snyder also says the law was all about the workers. really? he is concerned about the workers. that too is a lie. all the unions are saying is this, if you are going to be a union member, you are going to be expected to pay dues. you know, you're going to be not required to b

the federal government does have the power to do something. i'd like to see -- they passed the motor voter law, the help america vote act and help for the local election administration so you don't throw it all on localities where you have two weeks of guaranteed early voting everywhere in the country. why should you have more rights to vote in one state than another where you might beef up the number of people at the polls on election day and not always easy to hire people. make sure the machinery works. i even have a way to pay for this. the supreme court says we have to live with super pacs. let's tax the super pacs to pay for an election system. >> that is a great idea to try a transactional tax for every donation used for an ad and say some of that will go into the administration of elections. i love that idea! >> e.j., thank you very much. >> thank you so much. >>> i have to say, after elections, i get all civically tingling, you know, you get my civic geek thing on. i feel like elections administration is one of those things we talked a

is still alive, 51% say government is doing too much. can democrats make room, do they need to make room for policies that support that message? >> well, first of all, when we talk about the tea party, i think sometimes people just say everything they don't like about the republican party, they just say that's the tea party. that's not fair. the tea party is one of the most impressive citizen movements in the history of the country. they have to be spoken with with a certain amount of respect. however, they have been i think harmful to the gop. the gop's big problem now is that they have backed themselves in this sort of demographic cul-de-sac where they just are a dwindling party at this point. they are not appealing broadly and some of the style and tone of the tea party has been very offensive to people of color, to women and it's going to make it harder for the gop to govern and grow. the other thing is they were rejected this week at the ballot box. not that they didn't grow. key tea party heroes were voted out of office. alan west
